Van Wyk Inc.

Lol mushroom, sounds just like the white wave load i just delivered!

 

From what I hear...we are going to end up with Freightliners eventually...I guess thats how the company goes though...they just cycle through what works best for them......evidently its not the KW's (well at least the Cummins)...its too bad that Detroit Diesel is now only Diamler Trucks....cause the DD15 would be perfect for the KW...

 

Saw one of the new Cascadias in Ohio on 80 on Saturday. Like the chrome touches on and hope they work out better than Roehl's Cascadias with that #### battery pack HVAC. Glad we're not getting that crap!

Finished my last three drops of my four stop load this morning in the Baltimore/DC area. Fun, fun, fun...

Picked up a load in Sandston, VA near Richmond that is headed to Missouri. Its a two stop with first stop in Salem, MO and then final in Hazelwood, MO. At the TA in Ashland tonight and drove over my hours by 33 minutes but Tim is aware that I was getting kicked out of shipper so all is well.

Working on pulling another Roehl driver over to the VW. Basically told him to leave the dark side...LOL!

 

Who are you trying to convert??? is it one of our oh so loving flatbed friends...LOL...they wouldn't know what to do with a box behind them...much less have to back up everywhere they go...LOL....

 

No, he's a dry van driver and was my recruit at Roehl.

 

Those better be easy to spot from a distance because I don't want to be waving at a bunch of K&B yahoo's! I was trying to subliminally persuade them into getting some 386's with the new PACCAR MX motor to give a whirl. I've talked to a few JFI O/O's that have that platform and they said they are great motor's. What's the deal with all of the stuff we've been taking out to Rapid City as of late? Are you guys reloading anything out there or just bouncing back?

 

Sitting here in Jersey on I-78 1 hr 30 mins into a 10 mile back up smh FML

 

I bounced back all the way to mitchell for a reload at Graphics Packaging that went to Wells.....then bobtailed to sheldon for service last weekend...

 

Waiting for a dock here at KVAT in abington, it was a zoo getting into the gate, parked at the new petro about 7 miles away,good thing i did! Apparently these guys don't unload until appt time, as there was a martin driver there getting bent out of shape, i guess he went in a full day early, and when the guard pointed out that the appointment till this morning, and he started to lunge at them... not a good way to make a delivery, thats one driver that will have to explain to his travel agent why his load was rejected lol, i was told by the guard to park and wait till they come get me, and i just smiled, said ok, then parked it like a good boy, i wasn't gonna put those guys in any worse of a mood,...hopefully cory & josh won't get it in their heads to make me squeeze in a warners delivery for tomorrow, between a long possible deadhead to front royal & having to get a 10hrs in before getting up to syracuse area, i'm pretty sure it ain't gonna happen.

I seen pics of the cascadia's, not bad, kinda looks, well, different with out the visor.

 

Speaking of cascadia's, did that one have the fridge and radio set ups like the vovlvo's and kw's?
